Abstract

Abstract. The present paper aims to propose the dynamic assessment of creativity for diagnostic purposes, which combines the sociocultural approach to creativity with the findings of creative cognition research. A traditional theorization viewed creativity mainly as an ability of individuals and its expression depending on the extent to which their environment allows and supports it. According to the individualistic approach of creativity, static testing has been its predominant psychological assessment. However, the traditional approach to creativity has been criticized from a sociocultural theoretical perspective that regards creativity as distributed cognition between the mind and culture in recent years. Based on sociocultural theory, dynamic assessment of creativity is an alternative process to static testing for assessing creative potential. Besides testing, in dynamic assessment, the cognitive strategies of creativity that creative cognition research has revealed are mediated in children as symbolic tools or signs. Therefore, in dynamic assessment, sociocultural theory is combined with creative cognition. In the present paper, initially, we present the relevant theory and research on dynamic assessment and creative cognition. Next, studies applying dynamic assessment to children of different ages and devising the mediation protocol will be discussed. Finally, we will consider the psychological and educational implications of dynamic assessment of children’s creativity.

用于诊断目的的创造力的动态评估

摘要本文旨在提出一种用于诊断目的的创造力动态评估方法，该方法将创造力的社会文化方法与创造性认知研究的结果相结合。传统的理论认为创造力主要是个人的一种能力，其表达取决于环境允许和支持的程度。根据个人主义的创造力方法，静态测试一直是其主要的心理评估。然而，近年来，从社会文化理论的角度来看，传统的创造力方法受到了批评，认为创造力是思维和文化之间的分布式认知。基于社会文化理论，对创造力的动态评估是评估创造力潜力的静态测试的替代过程。除测试外，在动态评估中，创造性认知研究揭示的创造性认知策略在儿童中作为象征工具或标志进行中介。因此，在动态评估中，社会文化理论与创造性认知相结合。本文首先介绍了动态评价与创造性认知的相关理论与研究。接下来，将讨论对不同年龄的儿童应用动态评估和制定调解协议的研究。最后，我们将考虑对儿童创造力进行动态评估的心理和教育意义。
